Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Dated rooms, no water, tried to overcharge for parking. Would not return.

An excellent hotel, the staff were superb, the room was excellent and there was an really good atmosphere in the public areas. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel to all of my friends.

Stayed weekend (1night) we had a great time,weather could be better.

I stayed at the Highcliff Hotel for a few days. On their website it says that it is a beach front hotel. The bit it does not say is that it is at the top of the cliff (hence the name). You have to use the cliff lift or walk down to get to the beach. The room that I had was nice and spacious. I also had a lovely sea view. I found that you had to PAY to use the hotels WiFi, however I found that I could I use the public WiFi for free. As has been noted in other reviews the Hotel had been ordered to close their lovely indoor pool by Marriott head office. The question has to be asked don't they realise the indoor pool is the reason why people book at the Hotel in the first place. I arrived at the Hotel at around 21:40 as it was so late I just wanted a quick sandwich before tucking in. I found that the food was just too fancy and you could do not get something basic as a simple sandwich. When I arrived I discovered that the the room safe was not working I reported this and it was fixed the next day. All the staff that I met were all so helpful and friendly particular mention should be made for Elizabeth in the bar. Message to management look after after her she is good.

A few odd pubes/hair still in bath from previous guests and dirty marks on one of the curtains. The bedding was immaculate. The bed comfortable. The service, food, was impeccable.
